TRANSGENIC MOUSE EXPRESSING GREEN FLUORESCENT PROTEIN IN ASTROCYTES

摘要

A transgenic mammal, specifically a mouse, containing in its genome ahumanized mutant of green fluorescent protein operably linked to the glialfibrillary acidic protein promoter is provided. The mouse can be used to assaythe effects of systemic or topical administration of neurotoxins and also toassay the effects of physical damage to neural tissue.
